RIYADH-SABA
Yemen's Foreign Minister said the United Nations is tolerating Houthi atrocities and violations of a ceasefire agreement with the government in the country's western port of Hodeidah.
In a meeting with the German ambassador to Yemen Carola Müller-Holtkemper here today, Mohammed al-Hadhrami said the rebel militia last week "killed and injured several civilians in a rocket attack on a hospital run by MSF in Mokha port" south of Hodeidah city.
The UN, he said, "refrains from even naming Houthis as responsible for the atrocity."
"Failing to hold Houthis responsible for these violations will embolden them to maintain their atrocities and their stubbornness."
